Best Movie:
I watched 20 movies on the big screen in 2017 - a rather low number for me (and TBH we intend to see Jumanji this week, but somehow I suspect it won't be a major highpoint). In retrospect the five I enjoyed the most were (in order):
Worst movie of the year? Hands-down it was Valerian and the city of a thousand planets, a SF wannabe-epic-that-just-looks-embarrassingly-dated that I believe I described on Facebook as "a gilded turd".
Book of the Year:

And it did not disappoint. Fascinating and eye-opening in its detail, it is also (I believe) profound in its insights and supremely relevant to the world regime we find ourselves in now.
Best TV:
Two standouts this year: hard SF masterpiece The Expanse on Netflix:
And we started trekking through the whole of Breaking Bad on boxed set too. I'm loving it!
Best Music:
I belatedly discovered Muse. Don't laugh.
Quote of the Year:
May we all persist through 2018...
